Are you Fair or Strange? Be careful which one you choose.
A prophecy echoed throughout Valeera, but only one kingdom twisted it-enforcing a law that split its people in two: the Fair and the Strange. One was promised peace. The other, eternal doom... or so the people believed.
18-year-old Mageia Unknown is a well-known thief with purple eyes living in a kingdom divided by the blessed and the oppressed. Her only desire is to care for her family, the Lost Ones, and rescue children treated unfairly. But one night, she decides to rescue children meant to be sacrificed for a holy ceremony and things do not go as planned. She soon discovers why she has purple eyes and it comes with an anointing, connected to a long-lost prophecy, and the awakening of magical powers.
18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the Kingdom of Ardania. Shunned for an imperfection that stains the royal bloodline, he had grown obsessed with the Fairest Prophecy and a forbidden book that reveals the truth. When everything begins to point to the well-known Purple Thief, their paths cross and uncovers a threat within the palace that may destroy the kingdom. He is forced to protect the anointed Fairest, but is he willing to sacrifice his life and those he love while doing so?

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story is the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Aurelia
Her name was written in golden ink, and nothing would ever be the same. Aurelia never imagined her quiet life would matter to anyone-until the Quill of Calling inscribed her name in glowing gold, marking her as chosen. Now she's a student at Crowned Star University, an ethereal academy hidden far from the world she knew, where future royals and magical beings are shaped into something greater. Within its velvet-draped halls, she finds freedom for the first time... and something else stirring-something forgotten, blooming slowly inside her. Her magic doesn't follow rules. It pulses with emotion, echoing fear, softness, longing. It reacts to dreams. To safety. To pain. And to them. There are whispers about the four princes-each one cloaked in power, mystery, and something she can't quite name. Wind, shadow, light, and stone. Their eyes linger too long. Their presence shifts the air. And somehow, without meaning to, Aurelia begins to belong to places-and people-she never thought would see her. But when a cursed book begins to pull on her soul, and a ghost starts whispering truths no one else dares speak, Aurelia must decide who she is: the girl who was written in gold... or the one who will rewrite the story entirely. * * * Contains age regression, mental health issues, graphic scenes, abuseComplete
